This is rather elementary, though. That's also not an opinion. If it's wrong, then a lawyer will correct it. I know there are plenty on here.

So why have any rules in place that restrict it?

Swimming is not a headcount sport. Very few of them are on full scholarship anyway. But, that's not really important in regards to the issue at...

This is an easy one. What's considered "fair" in a legal sense is whatever a school or sponsor is willing to pay them in order to play there. What's considered "not fair" in a legal sense are rules...

It's not about giving "SOME" to the players. It's about not denying them what their fair market value is.

Say all the schools gave a million dollars to each of the players on top of their full...

Do you HONESTLY not understand how the NCAA was violating anti-trust laws??

The players weren't playing for the NCAA league office. They were playing for the schools. There were rules limiting...

That's basically correct. There is a ton of money in college sports, but the NCAA itself, as in the league office, makes a very small percentage of it. They have one cash cow, and most of that...

The bold part is the issue. Every school agreeing to have this as a rule is a rather blatant violation of anti-trust laws. It is the legal definition of price fixing. If a school were to decide on...

Having to sort through that mess is near the top of a long list of reasons as to why I am totally unqualified to run a bar.

Yeah, in case you haven't noticed that hasn't been working out so well as a legitimate legal defense for the NCAA over the last few years.

It would be great if both parties would work on that. And let's not forget the Stalin wannabees while we're at it.

MOST people (not all) on MOST campuses (not all) are just normal people.

They're worried about finishing their exams, keeping their scholarships, finding housing and jobs for the summer,...

Pretty much. The better way of phrasing it is that the NCAA rules that prevented them from making money off their own NIL's were in violation of anti-trust laws. They were injured financially...

Amazing?? Perhaps. Purposefully conflated?? Not necessarily. People who are lawyers sometimes forget that a lot of people who are not lawyers and/or have never had to deal with litigation or...

From a legal standpoint this is absolutely true. But I guess my question is does it matter to the point at hand? Say Trump had been convicted of sexual assault. Would he be any less likely to win...

As it stands now, it looks like the party will nominate him, and the people will elect him.

Now if someone OTHER than Joe Biden were to get the Democratic nomination, then....

That is a very informative and concise explanation. Thank you.

So there is perhaps a better chance that in a year from now Kristi Noem is president than there is that Biden is president.

I'm pretty sure something like that would need to be collectively bargained. I mean, that doesn't mean the NCAA wouldn't initially do it anyway. The've been in violation of ant-trust laws for a...

Any ideas on who Trump's VP candidate will be??

I'm not an expert on constitutional law, but I know enough to get by. The way I understand it is this..

-The Republican Party no longer has the...

So for those that don't know, I believe there are more changes yet to come. The House Case, in which the plaintiffs are suing the NCAA for over $4 BILLION in damages for being in violation of...

I'm placing the over/under at 2027 before something like this makes its way into the courts. I'm also taking the under.

Everything that is happening, literally all of it, is because of the courts. If the NCAA tried to implement either one of these, then someone would sue and they would probably win.

The problem...

I'm pretty sure they can still go in earlier, though.

I'l probably regret asking this, but who are these puppet masters? I don't really look at this and see any evidence of anyone who's capable of mastering much of anything.

I bet almost no one reading this, and a very small percentage of the students protesting now, even know who Saul Alinsky is. Or...who he WAS, I guess. I know sometimes a lot of these "movements"...
